Pop Quiz: Outstanding October

Autumn has arrived! Come to the National Portrait Gallery for the Pop Quiz trivia night on Oct. 21 at 6:30 p.m. Test your knowledge on a melting pot of all things October, told through the Portrait Gallery’s collection. From songs to television shows, expeditions to trials, famous birthdays to death days, there is something for everyone in this special trivia contest of people and events.

Pop Quiz takes place once a month in the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard and can be played individually or in a team of up to six people. (You can earn a bonus point or two if you come up with a particularly clever team name.) The team with the highest score will take home a special prize, along with bragging rights. The Courtyard Café will be open during Pop Quiz for participants to purchase snacks and drinks.

Get a sneak peek by taking a look at this month’s bonus question, worth ten points.
